> How long does this take? Longer than you might expect! Each sentence can take several minutes, so one paragraph can take over half an hour. The reason for limiting this to 1–2 paragraphs is to bound the time of the whole activity to 45–60 minutes. Beyond that, everyone is exhausted.

> Yes, working one paragraph at a time is slow progress. You’re better off doing this a while before a deadline rather than at the very end.

so how long does it take to finish one paper in general? how many N hours total?
> select internal elements of the component

If you need an equivalent Expedient Field Hack for a web component, remember it's an HTMLElement subclass and ends up in the DOM. So you can get the object back out of the DOM as 'just another internal element' and gutwrench it from there (or, depending, subclass it and register your subclass, or insert an extra entry into its prototype chain, or ...).

I mean, yes, those are all horrible, but so's digging into the guts of a react component you don't own, sometimes taking a dependency on the internals of somebody else's code is the least horrible option.

... it occurs to me that given a JS Function's .toString() returns the source code, on an e.g. lit-html component you could probably even grab the render function, yank the html`...` call out of it, regexp that to tweak the mark up, and then use an indirect eval to stuff it back in.

But really, I think "you now have the element object, monkey patch it to taste" is probably quite sufficient and far, far less ridiculous than that last paragraph, I just couldn't resist sharing the horrifying thought :)
Yeah, in the last few years I realized somewhere along the way that I stopped believing in laws. It's a strange feeling and hard to think about how I used to feel in retrospect; it's like I used to believe there was some force that existed throughout the country that should control our behavior, but at some point I realized that there just isn't anything there. It's a bit like losing religion I suppose.
I've not used "git pull" since 2010. I always "git fetch" remote objects, and rebase with an explicit "git rebase".
I'm pretty sure that's one of those rights you can't sign away. Fire codes are strict.
"I can't taste it" and "it dissolved more quickly than I expected" doesn't make for particularly great evidence to support this grand sugar replacement conspiracy.

You might have recently had a mild cold/flu/covid infection that left you with a diminished sense of taste that day.

The time it takes sugar to dissolve is affected by a lot of things, including the size of the granules, which might have been closer to powdered sugar than the much larger crystals you're used to seeing in restaurant packets. Just because your drink was cold doesn't mean sugar can't very quickly dissolve in it.

If you're genuinely concerned about this, get a sample of it and send it to a chem lab for testing. That's going to be the easiest way to get evidence worthy of the claim you're making ("it isn't sugar").
A good example is one of the Chinese Communist Party's top dogs, who $14.5 billion was recovered from (and his family) in a corruption probe [1].

Or Xi Jinping himself, whose family has amassed $1 billion+ [2] despite his modest $22,000 salary.

Bezos doesn't own entire states, and he can't use his wealth in the full on-paper value. Literally owning country-sized plots of land, all its natural resources, its people and everything they create including their children, having the privilege to tax all trade going through and assign trade monopolies is incomparable to anything Bezos might own even if he becomes a centi-trillionaire.

It was much, much more extreme for most of human history. So much more that I can't actually blame you for this mistake because it's that hard to comprehend how incredible the difference is.

> How did WordPress get to this state?

WordPress got into 'this' state because the modern frontend is in 'this' state itself.

For a decade now people kept criticizing WordPress for 'not being modern' and pushed all the ills that the modern frontend is afflicted with onto the project. They eventually caved in and added some 'modernity' to the project.

But not after ~4 years later, the zero-interest economy ends, stock values plummet, VC money dries up and organizations and people start looking for efficiency in their stacks to cut development and cloud costs, and voila - server-side rendering is cool again, serving static pages or plain HTML to the users is better and it turns out that our frontend stack has become unnecessarily complicated and not every app or site needed total DOM manipulation capabilities.

But the damage was done - React made its way into WP which already had well-fleshed-out, long-existing code and systems that were fulfilling all the purposes it and its users needed and complicated everything.

It feels like this is happening because mainstream tech is adopting WordPress more and bringing its biases and preferences to its community:

I see people asking about how they can rip off the WordPress frontend and use it as a 'headless cms' with a react or another complicated frontend that they absolutely don't need to use for the purpose they intend to build their site or app: Ie you're just making a custom e-commerce site. You arent going to pitch to VCs who may care about this kind of stuff, you are going to sell to actual end users who don't give a crap about your stack or what's behind it. WordPress already runs 30% of all e-commerce sites on the web with what it has, what benefit using react in the frontend of your new e-commerce store will bring you? When asked, they say that its 'more modern'. Doing something complicated and flipping backwards to do the same thing that WP already does out of the box with a plugin like Woocommerce to do it 'more modern', which the customers who buy stuff on the site will abso-freaking-lutely wont notice or care about.

This feels like an additional proof of how the influx of unbounded investor and VC cash enabled by a bloated stock market riding on zero-interest economy caused mainstream tech to become complex for complexity's sake - organizations became more like grad schools that do research than actual companies that serve end users, ending up creating a developer culture that does things in the most complex way possible without a justifying business reason.

Ask HN: Those who took a sabbatical from a side project: how did it work out?
Hi HN!

After close to 6 years I’m taking a break from writing a newsletter (https://www.weeklyrobotics.com/ for the interested). It was an interesting exercise in consistency (I pushed an issue every week since I started).

If you took a break from a personal project, did you return to it? I would love to hear some stories whether good or bad.

Also, if anyone happens to have any advice on anything that can help during a break or making the most out of it - I’ll be grateful for it too!
Hi, I did engineering and currently working in tech writing software. So I'm pretty good with it. I just don't know which platform or resource people generally use as a one-stop solution to understand how different gadgets work if there is one.
Absolutely agree. The definition of "worthy" comes from a narrow group of haughty English majors. That may be your thing, but there's a huge world of non-worthy stuff out there.
There will always be people unable to figure out basic skills but that's not a reason to handicap the entire system.

Hey HN - co-founder of Neosync here;

We just launched our brand new AI Data Generation feature which allows you to use ayn LLM to generate synthetic data and insert that directly into a Postgres or Mysql database.

Simply connect your database, configure any LLM that you want to use (we support any model that is hosted on an endpoint, it can be local as well!), then provide a prompt and generate data.

We first sample 10 records to give you an idea of what the data looks like and you can iterate on the prompt and data until you're ready.

Neosync handles all of the infrastructure, prompt-chaining, formatting and orchestration of the data from the LLM to your database.

Here are some use-cases:
- If you're building a new app you can use Neosync to seed your database
- If you're working on a new service that has it's own database or schema, you can use Neosync to seed it with data.
- If you want additional data for fine-tuning or RAG, you can use Neosync to generate that data

What's next?

We can generate up to 1000 records right now and are working on supporting up to 10k in the next few weeks. Currently it works for a single table but we're working on making it work for an entire database including all of your constraints.
Here's a 5-min demo video:

https://www.loom.com/share/79af81c12b7543fd9d3174c22842ccf2?...

You can run it locally using Docker Compose or Helm or try our hosted platform for free at neosync.dev

Thanks!
One aspect to consider is that poor people might consume little enough that they're actually less dependent on the grid than large McMansions with lots of appliances.

I lived for 3 years with 1040 watts of solar, traveling around the US in a motorhome. I really did not even feel like I was compromising on anything to save power, I had a tower PC, I watched movies with television + stereo system, etc. 1 kW of solar is tiny by residential solar standards. It's not hard to go solarpunk and live off of just solar, once you let go of large homes.

What you have here is a false dichotomy: Giving money to ULA or nationalizing SpaceX to penalize them for success.

Here's a third option: Give that money to Rocket Lab so they can develop their capabilities instead of giving it to ULA for their executives to snort it up their noses.
The airs screen was good but not great. Not compared to the 13” pro.

As for peripheral, not at all. My iPad lives mostly in its keyboard folio. I also regularly use a USB-C dock with it for either Ethernet access, HDMI output to hotel TVs, or memory card reading (camera). I know a few people who carry around 8bitdo Bluetooth game controllers for use with all sorts of devices (steam deck, laptop, phone, iPad). If you’re a diehard gamer, it’s well worth it.

Their circulation is connected, the dead twin is going to give the live twin septicaemia. If a person has a gangrenous limb, we can amputate it. But what to do if the whole of your conjoined twin is gangrenous? Usually the cases of twins still conjoined in adulthood are cases where separation was not medically feasible, so “amputation” is not an option. Given this, they can live for a few hours, but once one twin is dead, death for the other becomes imminent and inevitable.

Boeing had a 50 year headstart on putting things into space. Have talked to engineers from ULA and NASA, there was very much a disbelief that a. SpaceX would ever achieve a reusable rocket and that b. they would ever have a market share because the incumbents were doing so well.

It's not uncommon for the aerospace industry to lose touch with reality. They consistently get told how amazing they are and budgets just keep on coming. When an actual competitor enters the market, they get caught in utter disbelief.

> Schools with the highest funding have the worst performance.

It could also be because the schools with the most special / high needs children need the most funding.

Schools in poor neighborhoods need more help just to achieve median results. They need to contend with issues like teen pregnancies, drug use, violence, and kids who don't even have food at home.

Compare those challenges to rich suburban kids and of course the schools in poor areas need more funding.
Long before TikTok and YouTube and even Google there was the Dewey Decimal System. We use it to categorize books into a hierarchical tree structure. So I think what most people do is to find a category they’re interested in and look inside that category for either subcategories or books they find interesting.
As someone who can read Ancient Greek, Homer is unlike anything we have in English. No translation can "get it." It's oral poetry meant to be performed for hours at a time with a bunch of repetitive stock phrases. I don't feel like I "get it" reading it in Greek. It's absolutely beautiful but even when I read it in Greek, I feel like there's this huge gulf between me and the context it which it was created. I think you should just choose whatever translation you find beautiful but there's also value if someone wants to read something that's worded more closely to the Greek.
They should just rename the 10th generation iPad, as in the product that is currently just named "iPad" to "iPad SE". "SE" in Apple nomenclature basically means "cheap entry-level device using old tech and/or designs" and I can't think of a more fitting description for the "iPad".

Profit is surplus value created by the labor of workers. I'm simply saying no one works hard enough to create a billion dollars worth of anything.

Wealth accruing to owners rather than the workers who produce it is older than employment contracts. I'm pointing out that this arrangement is the result of a set of choices that have been made, and we could choose otherwise. The fact that we consider this one approach correct and fair and not others is not inevitable.
Could you elaborate a bit more on your note taking workflow? I have an ipad and a macbook but I haven't figured out the best way to use them together that doesn't involve connecting with a cable and manually dragging files around in the finder. (The corporate admin has disabled icloud, which doesn't help).

I have a lot of pdfs on the laptop. I'd like to send one to the ipad, jot some notes, and send it back in a seamless way. Or generate a quick drawing on the ipad and easily add it to a document on the laptop.
All coffees tend to be in the same ph range regardless of brewing technique.
The phrase should be read as "oversimplified Econ". If it were just about the money supply, increasing interest rates, which reduces money supply by suppressing loans, as well as the end to the money handouts during the shutdown, would have been enough to take care of it. But there's also market concentration which has allowed big players to raise prices a lot more than their costs have been raised, increasing their profits.

The iPad Pro plus keyboard folio was thicker and heavier than a MacBook Air. So honestly, this change is welcome.

1. Potholes are also being phased out in many locations, but apparently not on El Camino.

2. Horizontal deflection and blocking access (usually requiring more distance to be covered) both increase maintenance on vehicles; by my count, three out of four categories of traffic calming increase maintenance on vehicles --- it's clearly an allowed part of the design. Going back several comments, blocking access often makes cycling much worse too. As can narrowing, depending on how its done.

I got the base model M1 Air a couple of years back and whilst I don't do much gaming I do do C#, Python, Go, Rails, local Postgres, and more. I also have a (new last year) Lenovo 13th gen i7 with 16GB RAM running Windows 11 and the performance with the same load is night and day - the M1 walks all over it whilst easily lasting 10hrs+.

Note that I'm not a fanboy; I run both by choice. Also both iPhone and Android.

The Windows laptop often gets sluggish and hot. The M1 never slows down and stays cold. There's just no comparison (though the Air keyboard remains poor).

I don't much care about the technical details, and I know 8GB isn't a lot. I care about the experience and the underspecced Mac wins.

One of my biggest complaints with distros has been the lack of documentation on how to actually build the distro itself, not just an ISO but like build all the packages from source as well. Like as if you were following an LFS book. I have seen VERY few distros that provide this.

I'm in a very sunny area and my break-even based on last estimate was 16 years, because the local electric monopoly charges a huge monthly fee from solar owners even if you consume nothing.

I'd probably be better off disconnecting from the grid fully, but that's riskier in a climate that still has serious winters and would need more planning than I have spare cycles for, and would have more up-front costs.
